Instagram tips and tricks: Here’s a quick guide to view someone’s Instagram Status without actually letting them know.

By Divya Bhati: Instagram is a fun app to follow your friends and get updates on everything they post about their life. Instagram Stories, Reels, and posts have become a part of our life. While we keep our lives out in the open on social media, often we wish to remain silent and just scroll through our feeds.

Though Instagram doesn’t show others if we have seen their posts, the meta-owned app does let people know the viewers on the stories. When a person views a story, the hosting account can check on how many people have interacted with the story.

But if you are looking for ways to watch Instagram secretly without letting the other person know then here are 3 easy tricks that will not show your profile in the ‘story view lost’.

How to view Instagram Stories without letting users know

Tap on the IG Story next in line instead of the story you want to view.

Next, tap on the story you paused and drag it to swipe left.

You should note that you have to drag the story slowly to the left to get the glimpse of the story you wanted to see.

You will be in the middle of both Instagram Stories, from which you can peek at the desired story without coming in the viewers’ list.

Note: Just be careful not to swipe fast because that will let them know you've seen their story. Remember that this hack just provides you with a sneak preview of the IG story.

In airplane mode

Open the Instagram app on your Android or iOS phone.

Wait a few seconds for the Stories to load.

Switch on your phone’s airplane mode.

Now again open Instagram and open the story you wanted to watch.

Through web

Install the ‘Chrome IG Story’ Chrome Extension.

Open and login into the web version of Instagram.

The Chrome extension will let you view all the stories on Instagram Stories without letting people know.
